This Wordle graphically illustrates which countries have the largest populations.
The key ideas in this unit are:
Population trends and development are closely linked. As countries develop economically, they tend to go through various demographic changes including drop in birthrate and increase in life expectancy.
Factors affecting demographic change (basically birth rates / death rates / life expectancy) can be explored using SEEP as a framework: social, economic, environmental and political.
Two key ways of presenting information about population are population pyramids and the demographic transition model.
Ageing populations are becoming a global concern, although there are some limited benefits of this structure.
Youthful populations exist in many LICs - this brings opportunities and challenges today and for the future.
Many countries have tried to control their population growth - either by encouraging or discouraging births. You need to know examples outlining background, impacts and effectiveness.
Migration has shaped our world today - the causes and impacts can be explored using SEEP as a framework.
Gender inequalities exist in many countries and these take many forms from cultural to economic. Many of the causes can be traced back to cultural and religious belief systems.
IB Assessment Statements
1.Population change:
Explain population trends and patterns in births, natural increase, mortality, life expectancy, fertility in contrasting regions.
Explain population momentum and its impact on population projections.
2.Responses to high and low fertility:
Explain dependency ratios and ageing ratios.
Examine the impact of youthful and ageing populations.
Evaluate examples of pro-natalist and an anti-natalist policy.
3.Movement responses – migration.
Discuss the causes of migrations both forced and voluntary.
Evaluate internal and international migrations in terms of geographical (socio-economic, political, environmental) impacts at the origins (source) and destinations (host).
4.Gender and change:
ØExamine gender inequalities in:
Culture
Status
Education
Birth ratios
Health
Employment
Empowerment
Life expectancy
Family size
Migration
Legal rights
Land tenure
